A TERRIBLE FIRE.
Nine Horses and GO lead of Cattle Burned
Near Plattsburgh.

Further details of the burning of the
farm buildings of Thomas Armstrong
three miles south of Plattsburgh, formerly
known rs the Gov. Underwood place
show that it was a terrible affair.
The fire was first discovered by
Mr.. Armstrong about O'Clock and at that
time had gained such Roadway that it was
impossible to stay is work. In all eight
barns and granary were destroyed. The
buildings were all attached, and If placed
side by side would have made a building
nearly 400 feet in length and covered near
ly an acre of ground. In the barns was
the entire summer crop from Mr.. Arm
strong's extensive farm, besides the
farming utensils, wagons, harnesses
and stock. A portion of the
stock was saved, but nine horses
and 66 head of cattle persisted de
spite every effort made to save then. At
one time it seemed as if the house would
go, but hard labor in which the soldiers
from the garrison played no small part,
saved that structure. The loss is esti
mated at $4,000, partially covered by in
surance, the insurance on the entire prop
erty, including the house and its contents
being SIS, 900 The cattle were ali of i'm
ported breeds. g. w. Vaughn of Platts-
burgh lost valuable horse, which was
stabbed in one of the barns for the night.
1t is thought the fire originated from "A
spark from the locomotive of the evening
train going south.

To One Who Doubts.

Suppose you don't believe it,
This lovely, tender story
OF the Christchild born on Christmas day,
While angels sang his glory. s
Would you have the countless thousands
Who in then hearts have shrined it
Destroy the shrines. and, Joined with you,
A pretty fable find it?
Think m oment of the kindness
That the thoughts of it awaken,
Prompting happy souls to seek and cheer
The lonely and forsaken;
Of the smiles it gives the children,
OF the love with which its greeting
Is spoken, where'er Christian folks
On Christmas day are meeting.
Think of the hope and courage
And faith by it relighted,
OF the blessings that through it are cast
On pathways long benighted;
And If you still can doubt 1t,
Can you say it has not given
To man the Joy above all joys
That brings him nearer heaven
> Margaret EytiTagt
